“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
Were any US Generals hurt or killed yesterday in Damascus, Syria, yesterday 5/9/24?
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
